Boris's Story

After pianist Boris's bitter break-up with Andria, can performance artist Chiara better understand him? Read by John McGlynn.

Boris is an artist - a pianist.

When he's working on a piece, time becomes meaningless; he will play all through the night and not notice.

That enigmatic passion, once the very thing that attracted Andria to him, eventually caused their break up. Boris left, taking his piano and their dog Mimi with him.

Things begin to look up for him when he starts seeing another artist Chiara.

Surely she鈥檒l understand the creative drive..?

John McGlynn reads Boris's story

Susie Maguire's trilogy of comic stories about the fallout from a break-up.

Who gets left with what? Music, water, transportation, arithmetic, possessions, separations....and love.
